those west faced

those west faced
walls of masonry and brickwork

that all wednesday were
damp darkened by rain wash

through all the hours of sunrise
today
those housefronts and market
stalls were shadow tinted

but now that sunless hue recedes
down those walls like a tide

now those walls are sunlight shaded
like mortar like mud at midday

go to that dark monastery where i live
and i’ll pay for your daily bread

walk like one who knows
the time between the shades is short
